Hi Luc,

Although I was not able to compile luvcview from source, I found a debian 
package for it at 
http://www.researchut.com/blog/archive/2007/01/31/luvcview_debian_package
and was able to install it.  I found that with the flag
	luvcview -w
it works!  Without this flag, the image is highly distorted and 
unrecognizable.  The output you asked for from luvcview -L is

luvcview version 0.2.0

Does this give any clues as to how to make it work with ekiga?
